Intel Enthusiast Gaming Build: Case
While all of the components we are selecting here today are what we would go with, and priced from vendors we trust, it is always a good idea to shop around as deals on these, or other good options, pop up from other reliable vendors all the time. With that said, let’s dive right into the next order of business.

In our previous build guide, I said I am not sure what is the easiest way to start a fight on a tech forum, but it is either A) start an AMD/Intel thread, B) start an AMD/NVIDIA thread or C) post your particular taste in case design. However, based on some feedback I got from our previous build guide I am going to go with it is C. Definitely C. That said, I brave on with another selection that will surely have some people questioning my sanity, because you have to put your hardware in something (or do you?), and you might as well look good while doing it.
So, our selection today is the SilverStone Primera PM02 because it is reasonably flexible for its price point, well made, and it is truly STUNNING. One of the unique features of the case is the illuminated downward-firing SilverStone logo when the system has power. This is one of those things that does not actually do anything to help with the case functionality, but it is an interesting detail that shows SilverStone will go that extra mile with their cases. So, the Primera PM02 is an easy pick for this guide, even if some of you will disagree with the looks.
